children.

Volunteers may attend one individual session or as
many as they like.
Brief Description
What does the opportunity
involve?
Week 1 – Personality Profiles and Guess My Job – An
interesting look at why different personalities are drawn
towards different jobs and a chance to find out about
yours, follows by a hugely fun and entertaining ‘Guess My
Job’ where children compete to work out the fastest what
you do for a living.
Week 2 – Apprentice-Style Business Challenge –
children love presenting their own ideas to volunteers in
this creative confidence-building activity.
Week 3- Interview Skills and Design Project Challenge
– helping children to think about presenting themselves in
the best possible way and building their confidence and
communication skills.
What will the volunteer do?
The session will be lead by the EBP facilitator.
Volunteers will play a supporting role, helping children
with the activities set.
In Guess My Job the children compete to deduce what
you do for a living from some carefully worded clues.
Always very entertaining and an enjoyable ice-breaker
for volunteers and children alike.
During the Apprentice Challenge you will help the
children think about what makes good teamwork
before they get creative inventing and designing new
business ideas and products. There’s the chance to
bring out your inner Alan Sugar or Karren Brady when
you and the rest of the judging panel watch the teams’
business pitches.
For the Interview Skills Day, prepare to be interviewed
like you’ve never been interviewed before! Working
with your own team of Year 5 pupils you’ll be asked
everything from your favourite colour to who your
best friend is – and maybe a few things about the type
of job you do too! After that you and your team will get
stuck into an inventive business challenge, so bring
your enthusiasm and creative skills with you.
What skills are required?
Communication and a sense of fun! Ability to have fun
with scissors, glue, craft paper and sellotape also an
advantage… Business supporters from any career
background are welcome.
Training required?
No special training needed – full briefing given at the
time
Closing Date
Requests to volunteer will be accepted right up to the
working day before the activity, however, to avoid
disappointment please get in touch as soon as
possible as some of our events become fully booked.
